Joe Scheuermann has led the tradition-rich baseball program of Delgado for the past 28 years as its head skipper. A former standout infielder for the Dolphins, Scheuermann returned to Delgado following his playing career to take over the program in 1990, a team that had been led by his father Louis "Rags" Scheuermann since 1972.
Scheuermann's tenure with the Dolphins includes a .668 winning percentage (971-483). Scheuermann has led the program to four NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series appearances since 2007, including three consecutive trips from 2014-16. The 2016 appearance in Grand Junction, CO saw Scheuermann collect his 900th career victory.
Over 200 student-athletes have moved on to four-year programs under Scheuermann's leadership while 25 former Dolphins have been selected in the MLB draft.
Scheuermann's contributions to Delgado has left a long-lasting impact on the community following his efforts to rebuild the baseball program following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Scheuermann's efforts in the community also consist of serving as a special advisor for American Legion Baseball and implemented the "Delgado Cares" initiative that leads to over 300 hours of community service from his student-athletes each year.
A native of New Orleans, LA, Scheuermann, who serves as the school's Athletic Director, will be the first Louisiana coach to be inducted into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Scheuermann has also been inducted into the All American Amateur Baseball Association Hall of Fame and was recognized in 2016 with the Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame's Eddie Robinson Award that recognizes an athletic administrator for outstanding achievements in athletics, academics, sportsmanship, and citizenship while maximizing limited resources.
